New Delhi: Amir Khans Dangal released in 2016 has been a great source of inspiration for many athletes showcasing peak determination. Taiwans first athlete to win an Olympic gold medal Chen Shih-hsin is one of those moved by the film. In an interview with NDTV Chen highlighted Dangal as the film that bore an “uncanny resemblance” to her own life. The movie which remains the highest-grossing Indian film in China features Amir as the strict patriarch Mahavir Singh Phogat who trains his daughters Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari to become world-class wrestlers. When I watched Dangal with Chinese subtitles a few years ago I noticed an uncanny resemblance between the wrestlers father and my own. My father was a hard taskmaster much like the father portrayed in the film. I feel he was even tougher on me Chen Shih-hsin said. The Olympic legend whose father owned a Taekwondo training center and introduced her to martial arts at the tender age of five confessed she once despised his relentless push. This led her to run away from home only to reunite with him years later and embark on a journey that culminated in an Olympic gold medal—reminiscent of the story portrayed in Dangal. Yes you could call me a chip off the old block when it comes to inheriting my father’s grit and toughness similar to the characters in Dangal she added. Chen Shih-hsin etched her name in the history books when she won the gold medal in the womens 49-kilogram category in Taekwondo at the 2004 Summer Olympics. She now teaches approximately 100 children at her Taekwondo school in the rural township of Xinfeng near Taiwan’s semiconductor hub Hsinchu according to the report. Dangal continues to be Indias highest-grossing movie making over Rs 2000 crore followed by Baahubali 2 which made over Rs 1700 crore and RRR which made over Rs 1200 crore.
